BUFFALO GROVE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Siemens announces the launch of a new Data Center Infrastructure
Management (DCIM) Solution, Datacenter Clarity LC™, which bridges
the gap between IT and facility management, allowing for smarter
decision making and optimized efficiencies using proven technologies.

Thisexciting solution is Siemens’ first offering in the DCIM
space and an important milestone for its increased focus into the
broader data center arena. The growing need to efficiently house data in
a secure, reliable and resilient environment leverages Siemens’ core
areas of expertise.

“Not many companies can match us when it comes to providing and
integrating all of the technologies and services needed for today’s data
centers,” said John Kovach, Siemens’ new Global Head of Data Centers.
“We truly believe that we are the only company that can provide such a
broad foundation of proven experience.”

With Datacenter Clarity LC™, Siemens has merged two of its proven
powerhouse strengths: Siemens’ renowned integration and management
capabilities across an entire portfolio of technologies within an
enterprise, and a complete data center-specific software suite built
upon Siemens Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software. The Siemens
PLM software has more than seven million licensees deployed globally,
many in mission critical industries. For example, NASA used the software
to digitally design, simulate, analyze and assemble the entire Mars
Rover Curiosity, contributing to a successful landing on Mars this past
August.

Datacenter Clarity LC™ was received very positively by attendees
when recently previewed at the 2012 Gartner Data Center Conference in
December.

“While other companies are trying to piecemeal or patchwork disparate
platforms together, we’re able to come in with a complete, proven,
scalable platform based on proven technologies already being used in the
field,” explained Kovach. “And when you consider our global depth and
expertise, you’ll see that Siemens is one of the few companies with the
technical capability to successfully execute in any data center
environment – almost anywhere in the world.”
